This model was already posted here, but because it is perfect for Halloween decoration and was posted more than a year ago, I decided to post it again today. It is not a hard-to-build model and you can see some photos of the assembly process in one of the links at the end of this post. Happy Halloween!

About "The Weekend Pic" - It will always be an image of a free model, built by a designer found in forums, blogs or sites around the Net. I would like to ask the cooperation of all friends of the blog to indicate some models for this weekly post. The only requirement: the model needs to be freely distributed and there must be a link to this assembly or construction report.

"Here's a nicely detailed replica of an 18th century flintlock pistol to keep you safe. It fires rubber bands with surprising accuracy, and provides a perfect opportunity to recycle a few cardboard boxes. Measuring an authentic 11 inches, this sidearm may fill you with an almost instantaneous sensation of bravery, confidence and invulnerability. You may even feel confident enough to confront the six horrible ghostly targets you'll find included." - Ray O`Bannon

Alerted by OldSchoolDM, who told me that one of the templates (first one) of Witch`s House was in a different resolution (making it a little smaller when printed), I fixed it, keeping all in the same res (96 dpi). I printed it here and I think it is fixed. Sorry for all the friends that printed this template and lost ink and patience. I really sorry about this!The model is still available (already fixed) for download in the original post (link at end of this post).

Thanks, Old School DM, to kindly alert me!

For all friends who visit the blog, sorry by the inconvenience and greetings from Brazil!

Friday the 13th is an American horror franchise that comprises twelve slasher films, a television show, novels, comic books, and tie‑in merchandise. The franchise mainly focuses on the fictional character Jason Voorhees, who drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp staff. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of mass murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, as either the killer or the motivation for the killings. The original film was written by Victor Miller and was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham. However, neither returned to write or direct any of the sequels. The films have grossed over $465 million at the box-office worldwide. - Wikipedia

A very easy to build paper toy of Alfred E. Newman, the "pretty face" of Mad Magazine, in a funny cubic style. By 7eater`s Cubees website.Mad is an American humor magazine founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines in 1952. Launched as a comic book before it became a magazine, it was widely imitated and influential, impacting not only satirical media but the entire cultural landscape of the 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than 2,000,000 during its 1970s circulation peak. The last surviving title from the notorious and critically acclaimed EC Comics line, the magazine offers satire on all aspects of life and popular culture, politics, entertainment, and public figures. Its format is divided into a number of recurring segments such as TV and movie parodies, as well as freeform articles. Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is typically the focal point of the magazine's cover, with his face often replacing a celebrity or character that is lampooned within the issue. - Wikipedia
